SCIENCE EQUIPMENT AND COMPUTERS
Science Microscopes
Science:  The elementary school teachers have the equivalent to a well equipped high school laboratory of science equipment available to them to conduct hands-on experiments.  This includes six instrument-quality microscopes (one, a dissecting microscope) and slides, standard and metric measuring equipment for liquids, solids, and linear measurement. 
 Children's interest and enthusiasm for knowledge of the world is further enhanced by short children's videos showcasing the lives of men and women who became great scientists and inventors.

 
Computers:  There are 23 student-designated Pentium class CPU's that are multi-media capable.  They use the Microsoft Windows operating system.  There are six or more computers in the third - sixth grade classrooms that have internet access via DSL lines.  The use of computers by the students in these grades directly correlates to the curriculum taught in class.  Some examples are activities such as finding synonyms and antonyms for spelling words, following the Alaskan dog sled race, publishing poetry and short stories, researching information, and typing reports.
